The light, and the world it shines from, feels freeing, full of possibility.

A bright light beckons across the street, calling to you in the clamor of Xintiandi. The light, and the world it shines from, feels freeing, full of possibility. This boundless new world belongs to JMGO’s first flagship experience store, designed by AIM Architecture. Borders blur and technology meets art in JMGO space nr 1.

JMGO, a tech company specializing in projectors, sells more than optimized content. Their product is about experiences, curiosity, and freedom. A projector can be targeted anywhere in a home, on walls, the ceiling or floor, even people in a home, and it can also just disappear. It is a feature and can be featureless, a product that takes away what you do not need. Something that de-clutters. Anything is a canvas. A home becomes boundary-less. What is possible when an image is no longer limited by size or a frame no longer holds the screen? This space becomes a staging ground for new and limitless experiences, a place to cultivate freedom and curiosity at home.

Here, the product is the point and inspiration. We begin and end with a lens. The door is an aperture, a focal point intentionally shrunk to be inviting without letting too much light into the interior and compromising the quality of the walls for projections.
